"Linux desktop market share is up as much as 61 percent, study finds
Posted by Matt Asay 10 comments

It's possible that the Linux desktop will never be anything more than a fad among geeky enthusiasts. If so, a growing swell of people appear to be much more faddish of late, as numbers from W3Counter.com appear to indicate.

Looking at the data, Linux clearly has a ways to go. But consider just how far it has come:

Linux went from 1.25 percent in May of 2007 to 2.02 percent in March of 2008. That is 61.6 percent increase in market share in nine months. [Put another way,] that is 82 percent annual growth in installed computers."

Yet another source says Linux has 3.8 % of the market, ....it shows that Mac is a 4.3...if this is really true...then Linux is close to become the # 2 Operating system.

Regardless of what the real figure is, Linux is up.
